Risk association model for atelectasis complication in

Background: Methods: A total of 572 children were retrospectively enrolled, including 40 patients with MPP complicated by atelectasis despite standardized treatment and 532 patients in the non-atelectasis group. Clinical, laboratory, and imaging data within 24 h of admission were collected, including demographic information and various biomarkers. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was employed to identify risk factors and construct a predictive model, evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Results: Significant differences were observed between the MPP complicated with atelectasis group and the non-atelectasis group in terms of age, hospital admission time, fever duration, neutrophil percentage and count, CRP, ALT, and LDH levels ( Conclusion: Our study presents a preliminary risk association model incorporating clinical indicators such as fever duration, neutrophil ratio, platelet count, ALT value, LDH value, and age to aid in the early prediction of atelectasis in children with MPP. Given the methodological limitations, the generalizability of our findings is constrained, and this model should be viewed as an initial framework for clinical assessment rather than a definitive tool.
